Bald eagle caught carrying off Canada goose in wild video

The extraordinary sight was captured by security cameras at Grant Public Utility District in Washington before being reposted to Facebook.

Some wildlife experts believe the eagle might not have won the battle of nature here though, and that the goose was actually dead already. This is due to the goose not appearing to fight or struggle in the eagle's talons.

Once the video was posted on Facebook, the comments have come rolling in about the rare sighting.

One of the common themes is how this could symbolise America beating Canada, as both birds are seen as symbols of each nation. One commenter wrote: "Wow. It's a classic USA vs Canada situation."

Another joked that it looked like the eagle has sorted it's Christmas dinner: "Looks like that eagle is having goose for Xmas."

A third added: "Flying Bald Eagle carries Canada Goose to her private abode as special guest for a Christmas dinner.

Darrow...for the Prosecution."

Bald eagles don't typically hunt for birds as their main meals and will primarily eat fish. However, when bodies of water used for hunting freeze, they are known to go after game birds such as ducks and geese including Canada geese.

This isn't the only wild nature moment caught on camera and being shared this week.

Following the attack, Coetzee's kayak was found floating down the river without a scratch on it. Coetzee's body has never been found and he’s presumed dead from the horrifying attack.

In 2013 the story of Coetzee's death was told in the National Geographic documentary, Man-Eater of The Congo. The documentary included footage of the moment Coetzee was attacked, although the exact moment the crocodile attacked was not shown.
